What the heck for?! The show doesn't let her do anything. It doesn't take advantage of Summer's particular talents. The way write the part and how they use stunt people for fight scenes instead of Summer; any decent actress who can pass as a teenager could play the part.

Of course this isn't Summer's fault. But it seems to me they're just nominating her because her name is recognizable to this show's fan-base.

Couldn't disagree more, I think Summer has stolen the hearts of the critics and is beyond wonderful in her role as Cameron. I like the show but the main reason I watch is to see what Summer will bring to her role each week!

Summer does a great job portraying a Terminator. I think it's a wonderful challange for any actor to try and shutdown all or most human feelings and behaviours and in that regard she does it really well.

Summer's the favorite character on the TWOP Terminator forum, with all sorts of spontaneous comments about how much various posters are taken by her performance. And there are plenty of them who'd never heard of her, so it's not just her fan-base.

For me, she's been actually scary and she's what, 5'6? She can do ice-cold, mysterious, funny, and sexy, and she uses her physicality beautifully to suggest someone not quite human. And, as Krusher says, all while not being able to show emotion.

I fell head over heels for Summer in AtS "Waiting in the Wings", and she hasn't taken a look back yet. Haven't had the chance yet to view Fox's Terminator series, but I will. Still, seems she's popping up everywhere and it strikes me she acts her character very well. 'Course, just my opinion.

I'm crossing fingers that she'll get this award, I think it's well deserved.

Summer is excellent as a terminator and should win.
On another note, Sweeney Todd should win in all of the categories it was nominated for because it was an excellent movie and was completely overlooked by the Academy.

She's done some good work on the series. I liked her in the opening scenes of the pilot, where she's trying to look and act like a normal girl but still interrogate John, and later a bit with a psychiatrist where she imitates the last thing the girl who killed herself said to her.

So good for her. I've heard Amy Adams is excellent in ENCHANTED as well, but I missed seeing it.

Summer is fantastic, and by far the highlight of this show. Because I loved her prior to the show, not sure if that is the reason she is the highlight for me. I'll have to find a non-Browncoat (gasp) watcher and ask them what they like. It would be a nice little test for me to see how biased I am :)
